Hello ajblane,

I hope you don't mind that I take this to our mailing list

  https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/genode-main

The list is the primary discussion forum for Genode related questions.
For further questions, other developers have the chance to offer a
helping hand. So, please subscribe using the link above.

Regarding your current issue: Do you use a 64-bit Linux installation?
Currently, our GDB port is limited to 32-bit and supported platforms are

  me@...246...:genode.git> (cd ports/lib/mk; find -name "gdbserver_platform.mk")
  ./foc_arm/gdbserver_platform.mk
  ./pistachio_x86/gdbserver_platform.mk
  ./foc_x86_32/gdbserver_platform.mk
  ./linux_x86_32/gdbserver_platform.mk
  ./fiasco_x86/gdbserver_platform.mk
  ./okl4_x86/gdbserver_platform.mk
  ./nova_x86_32/gdbserver_platform.mk
